My 13-yo 7th grade daughter is always asking to hang out with and sleep over at her friend's house (another girl at her school she has a couple classes with). Sleepovers 2 nights in a row on the weekend. Asking to go home after school during the week and I pick her up later. Asking to go roller skating with her.

For context, she's slept over at least one weekend night every weekend since Xmas break. They get along really well and the friend has gone on one daytime, local outing with us. But I don't want my daughter always taking up their weekend or school nights, and let them have some family time on the weekends.

She gets really upset when I tell her it's time to give them some family time and she's not going to hang out with her every single weekend.

I understand it's normal for her age, but I don't want her to lose this friend by smothering her. The friend's mom also won't let her stay the night at our house or come over to our house (I don't know the reason). We live about 5 miles apart. The friend's family is nice and I've talked with the mom and grandma a few times.

They both have boyfriends so I'm not suspecting they have a relationship like that (it wouldn't bother me if they did).

How can I put my foot down and get her to stop begging? It's really annoying and I want her to understand boundaries. My husband isn't any help because he says he doesn't care how much she goes over there.
